WhatsApp functions poorly on Wi-Fi connections
When connecting to Wi-Fi, sometimes notifications on WhatsApp don’t update properly—messages might appear as just a single tick even though both devices have internet access. This issue also seems to happen on your sister’s phone when she calls you. The problem appears to be limited to WhatsApp, and the Wi-Fi signal is strong.
It seems you need to adjust one of your app or device settings to enable notifications.
My mom's Pixel 4a seems to function properly now, whereas my Galaxy S10 struggles with this issue. It’s bothersome since I moved from a Nokia One to try and resolve it. The problem appears only when the phone has been used recently; otherwise, messages aren’t delivered until she powers it on or sometimes at random times.
Yes, it occurs regardless of whether you're connected to WiFi or using cellular data.
